To quantify the improvements, we ran a standard LDBC Social Network Benchmark (SNB) on an AWS c5.4xlarge instance (16 vCPUs, 32GB RAM). The dataset contained 100 million nodes and 500 million relationships. Since its initial release, Kuzu has accumulated over
| Query Type | v0.135 (ms) | kuzu v0.136 (ms) | Improvement |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
| 2-hop neighbor count (dense node) | 840 | 512 | 39% faster |
| 5-hop shortest path (weighted) | 1,250 | 890 | 28.8% faster |
| Aggregating LIST properties | N/A (via JSON) | 210 | 50x faster (vs. JSON parse) |
| Concurrent read-write mix (16 threads) | 2,100 | 1,480 | 29.5% better throughput |
The most dramatic improvement comes when using the new LIST type. Previously, simulating nested data required extracting JSON fields, which incurred heavy CPU costs. Now, the columnar storage scans the LIST directly.
